▶Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
▶Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
▶Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
▶Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
▶Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
▶Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
▶Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
▶When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
▶Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
▶Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.2.2 Warnings for drivers
▶Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
2.2.3 Additional safety instructions
Personal safety
▶Tampering with or modification of the tool is not permitted.
▶Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶Respiratory protection must be worn if the power tool is used without a dust removal system for
work that creates dust.
▶Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
▶Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially rotating drill bits or other accessory tools, may lead to
injury.
▶Activate the safety lock (forward/reverse selector switch in the middle position) when changing
accessory tools or batteries and before storage or transportation of the power tool.
▶The power tool is not intended for use by debilitated persons who have received no special training.
Keep the power tool out of reach of children.
▶Dust from materials, such as paint containing lead, some wood species, concrete/masonry/stone
containing silica, and minerals as well as metal, may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain
kinds of dust such as oak and beech wood dust are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos may
be handled only by specialists. Use a dust removal system whenever possible. To achieve a high
level of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner. If necessary, wear a respirator appropriate
